For three days, do not water your plant (or water very little if you have a rapidly draining soil). After three days gradually increase water. You should see blooms within a week or ten days.
- Remove dead blooms for prolonged flowering.
How To Use
- The nasturtium flower can be used as a garnish for salads, added into butter, or stuffed individually with soft cheeses or spreads.
